The editors liked
8 Cores
Fun and easy to overclock
Relatively lower power/ small performance drop
Great price/performance
Eight cores for £140
Reduced 95W TDP
Excels in multithreaded apps
Overclocks well
Reduced TDPs over 125W parts
Compatible with existing AM3boards
Uses 30w less than previous version
Enough performance for mainstream users
The editors didn't like
Not Steamroller
Not as efficient as other options
Lowly singlethread performance
Based on old technology
Not as good for gaming as Core i5
Existing FX 8350 and FX 8320 parts are better value
Reduced power comes at a fairly significant performance hit in most applications
Nothing new has been presented
Rapidly hits power limit
Which disables the turbo boost
Hard to achieve the claimed 4.3GHz in regular use
In most cases it tops out at 3.6GHz
Uses Piledriver rather than Steamroller technology
Pulls almost 50% more wattage than equivalent Intel Core
Abstract: Its hard to believe considering we just finished up an Intel launch, but it is already time to check out Intel’s next launch. Kaby Lake was launched at the beginning of this year and the Mainstream lineup of CPUs is getting refreshed with Coffee Lake and Z370. This is the 8th generation of Intel’s Core processors going back to the original launch back in 2006...

So I think most people will admit that AMD has had a lot of wins this year with all of the Ryzen launches. As I found out in our 1700v7700K coverage the 7700K was still a great performing CPU, especially when looking at gaming performance. But with ju...

Well, the Ryzen 7 launch has a surprising amount of excitement and drama mixed together with the impressive numbers but with memory issues and game performance causing very polarized opinions on social media and on websites like Reddit. AMD fans even...
Lower TDP rating than other high-end AMD chips, with competitive performance, Compatible with older AMD socket ("AM3+") and motherboards
Lags in single-core tests, Still not as power-efficient as competing Intel chips, which also have on-chip graphics
The FX-8370E pulls down AMD's desktop-CPU power consumption, yet it's almost as speedy as 125-watt CPUs like the FX-8370. It's our favorite from AMD's fall-2014 FX refresh. Read More…...
Abstract: In a sense the computer industry goes through these same type of cycles. Components get more powerful but also tend to get smaller. Once a certain point is reached with the reduction of size a bigger bump in performance can be made by increasing the size ...
Does the new FX-8370E represent a step forward for AMD's FX line of processors? Giving a clear answer is somewhat of a challenge. Our test sample performs about the same as its predecessors at similar clock rates, but draws less power doing so. However, i...
I would like to take this opportunity to thanks AMD for supplying the three FX processors and the motherboard for testing.The new AMD FX 8370 is far from ground breaking. That should not come as a surprise, given the modest 100 MHz increase in turbo speed...
